Opinions on the "Plain Globe Sight" from MVA?
Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2026 4:57 pm
Hi all,
I have a Marlin 1895 Cowboy Limited in 45-70 with a 26" barrel. I removed the barrel sight and added a Lyman receiver sight, but I am still using the OEM blade front sight with a brass bead. I have never enjoyed a beaded front sight so most of my LA rifles have Lyman 17A globes. I started looking around and saw the #111 Plain Globe Sight on the MVA website and I am curious if anyone is using this in the silhouette matches?
